 The X/Y Files: Ranma Saotome
Genma taught Ranma everything he'd ever need to know about fighting, keeping in top physical shape, keeping focussed when fighting; he even taught him the way a proper, honourable martial artist is supposed to behave, to the point where Ranma recognizes it whenever Genma does the exact opposite.
Ranma is a strange contradiction, declaring early on that he hates it that Akane is always beating him up and yet picking the fights with her himself!
Ranma really can't be blamed for her apparently deliberate conviction to view him in the worst possible light in almost every situation he gets into; like many Takahashi heroes, Ranma is also often the victim of circumstance, and Akane is not one to care to take this into account.

Ranma totally went berserk at this and fought all the way as Genma litterally carried him (or her, as it was raining and Ranma turned into a girl while Genma was in his panda form) to the Tendo Dojo.

Engaged to Akane (due to a agreement between Genma and Soün, for Ranma to marry a Tendö), to Ukyö (due to Genma being greedy) at age of 5, sort of engaged to Shampoo (due to a tribal custom) and is also pursued by Tatewaki Kunö in female form, and Kodachi in male form.
Ranma also prefers to fight while male, and he has never chosen to be female just for the fun of it (except perhaps for one or two festivals, or buying some food in Kodachi's intro part, though I can't be certain of these).
When Ranma goes to the beach, he almost always goes as female (wearing a girl's swimming costume), though this is because he wouldn't be able to swim in the sea without getting strange stares.
